Product Information
Full details
The Asics GEL-NYC "Storm Cloud Pure Silver" trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort for everyday wear and light workouts. The key benefit is the exceptional shock absorption provided by GEL cushioning, ensuring joint protection and a soft feel with every step. A potential caveat is that while versatile, they are best suited for casual use and light training rather than intense athletic performance. This model merges the classic Gel-NYC silhouette with advanced GEL technology, featuring a durable synthetic upper for breathability and classic ASICS detailing for a sporty aesthetic.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the GEL cushioning in these trainers?
The GEL cushioning technology in the Asics GEL-NYC trainers is designed to absorb shock effectively, providing a softer landing and reducing stress on your joints during movement.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
No, the Asics GEL-NYC trainers are best suited for everyday wear and light workouts. They are not designed for the high-impact demands of marathon running or intense athletic training.
How do I clean the synthetic upper of the shoes?
Gently wipe the synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution sparingly and then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of a lightweight and durable synthetic material, which provides good breathability and flexibility.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
While this specific product description details the 'Storm Cloud Pure Silver' colorway, the GEL-NYC series by Asics is often available in a variety of colors and styles. Please check other listings for different options.
What does 'retro-futuristic aesthetic' mean for these shoes?
It means the shoes combine a classic, vintage design inspired by past models (retro) with modern technology and styling (futuristic), creating a unique contemporary look.
What is the warranty period for Asics trainers?
Warranty information can vary by retailer and region. It is recommended to check the warranty details provided by the seller at the time of purchase.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoes require a short break-in period.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole and ensuring both parts are completely dry before reinserting. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might also help.
Fraying or damage to the synthetic upper
Avoid harsh scrubbing or using abrasive cleaning agents. For minor fraying, carefully trim any loose threads with scissors. For more significant damage, repair may not be feasible, and replacement might be necessary.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The GEL cushioning is designed for durability, but its effectiveness can diminish with very heavy or prolonged use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities beyond their intended purpose (light workouts, casual wear).

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the synthetic upper. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause materials to degrade or warp.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash separately by hand or in a mesh bag in a washing machine on a gentle cycle.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and damage.
